Share It

Hell in a Cell Kickoff kicks off with Josh Mathews welcoming us to the show and introducing the Superstar Panel, which consists of Dolph Ziggler, R-Truth, and Kaitlyn. Ziggler says he is intrigued by John Cena’s return, Truth says he is looking forward to a new WWE Champion being crowned, and Kaitlyn says Daniel Bryan and AJ Lee could be the new Power Couple by the end of the night. Josh Mathews sends it to Renee Young in the Social Media Lounge. Renee tells us to vote for Mr. Hell in a Cell. Our choices are Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, The Undertaker and Randy Orton.

We go backstage and we see The Miz talking to Vickie Guerrero. Miz says he wants Bray Wyatt in a match tonight, and Vickie says he is no medically cleared to compete, so no. Miz says he guesses there will be a fight and walks away.

Back with the Superstar Panel, and Big E. Langston has joined the panel. They talk about the Handicap Hell in a Cell Match, which will pit the team of Paul Heyman and Ryback against CM Punk.

Josh Mathews informs us that the Triple Threat Match for the WWE Tag Team Championship will kick off the show. The Shield joins the Panel for an interview. Rollins says it is an injustice that they didn’t get a straight up rematch against The Rhodes Family and it’s an injustice that they wouldn’t have even lost if it weren’t for The Big Show. Roman Reigns says their bond is stronger than the other two teams and everybody always needs to believe in The Shield. Langston brings up the fact that Dean Ambrose is always helping Reigns and Rollins and challenges Ambrose for the U.S. title. Ambrose says Langston doesn’t deserve it, but Langston keeps pushing. Ambrose grants Langston his wish.

We see a video hype package for John Cena’s return tonight.
